Autumn Days in Alaska | Harvesting Vegetables for Winter Storage

We enjoy the fall season in Alaska in the garden harvesting cabbage, carrots, celery and more. After cleaning and processing our produce, they are ready for our unique storage spaces. We make sauerkraut for the winter months and try an Italian celery meatball dish with fresh grouse and homemade creamy sorrel pesto.

[@kanemane]

Only channel I'll hit the like

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Thank you 🙂

[@creationsbychancecan]

I love your channel as I always learn something new about canning and gardening. I sure wish I had done what the both of you are doing in my younger years,

[@suzyschore5014]

Bandit is such a legend. ❤❤

[@kiskatalin2206]

I was once in Alaska. Iam from Hungary. Nice memory. Never forget it.❤

[@martihetrick609]

Love watching you guys

[@Quynhdang-farm]

The scenery is as beautiful as a painting

[@JoJo-qk5xx]

Your drone footage is SPECTACULAR.

[@sashaosdalisshalmateo247]

Hi from Dominican Republic, I just love your garden ❤❤❤

[@rogertemple7193]

Another awesome look at beautiful Alaska and i really liked seeing your harvesting your vegetables from the garden and putting them into winter storage take care and have a nice weekend thank you. ☕🥕🥔🫡🇺🇲

[@debbiemoore9069]

Am sorry to hear that bandit is not doing to well. Ever since bo passed away. I know it's hard see your dogs get older and know they won't be with ya'll much longer. Am 66 we always had some kind of animal for pets. Even though you know that they don't live as long as us. They become more than just pets their family. Enjoy what time you have. Love ya'll videos. May God keep blessing ya'll

[@glendaroberts5965]

Absolutely breathtaking video at the beginning. The autumn colors are so vivid.

[@tonifoster5108]

Hello. Maybe a freeze dryer would be a good option for you. It seems to make vegetable shelf stable for a long time. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

[@k.p.1139]

You have to remember they are on solar and generator. I have often thought it would be nice for them, but having one, they run for a long time. So, they would need a whole separate system with a stand alone 20 AMP plug.

[@Horsein]

​@@k.p.1139only if they get the large unit do you need the 20 amp

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Good thought's for Bandit

[@pennykafai4645]

What an amazing harvest you had. The carrots are awesome- great colours. Those sprouts are quite special too, my most favourite vegetable, the cabbage are huge . We in the UK well my husband at least earths up the celery to get nice white/ palest green stalks. Sometimes he wraps the stalks in cardboard instead of earthing up around them. I really like a lighter stalk. Poor Bandit I hope he starts to feel a little better real soon ❤. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@MarinaP-j3o]

Hi from Staten Island, NY🙏🇺🇸❤️

[@zettlerpamela]

Thank you again for sharing so much of your life and adventures. Bandit is loved by all, I know you will treasure what time you have left with him. He’s known nothing but joy, love and the best dog adventures. Your B roll could rival National Geographic. Thank you so much! Highlight of my week.

[@stuartaquatics3533]

When you almost dropped that lid of the brand new pot that you are so proud of and pulled your face like that at your husband I had such a good laugh😂😅 thank you for keeping that part in. Can totally relate more with real things happening. Makes me feel like I'm there in person having fun right allong side you🎉

[@janetpulley9336]

This is what I've been waiting for!!! I love seeing you harvest all your veggies from your garden!!

[@Mike-p7e]

Make a table out of wire.screen to wash veggie , dirt washes thur holes ! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1076">17:56</a>

[@terriingram6622]

Y’all are an inspiration to everyone who loves homesteading… Blessed Be

[@fayelightburn9255]

Awesome garden! My mother always stored her carrots for the winter in pails of sand and they lasted all winter, fresh as new!

[@parkerkitty]

🙏4 Bandit ❤

[@naomidunbar719]

Root veg, like carrots and parsnips will get sweeter after a few frosts. If you covered them with hay, they could probably stay in the ground until somewhere around mid Oct in your climate. From Texas A&M: "Cabbage head splitting can be avoided by keeping the soil uniformly moist near harvest time. Splitting can also be prevented by root pruning the plant about the time the heads mature. This can be done by cultivating near the plant or simply twisting the plant to break some of the roots."

[@StephsHealthMatters]

The Brussels looked amazing

[@annetunstall967]

Couple of things you might like to try . With the leeks put them in deeper you get a larger white section which is more tender than the green. You could try dry storing root vegetables in 'clamps' which are piles of dry soil or sand layered with the root veg, it's a traditional way of storing root veg here in UK, you can use wooden boxes or barrels as well, it's important that the soil/sand is dry.

[@51rwyatt]

For a garden that was only constructed in May, this is a great result. It'll be a veggie paradise in a few years.

[@PewZapDie]

Feels like only a couple of weeks ago that you planted that garden and now it's already about to be hunting season

[@pacosalvador904]

Kisses to bandit,beautiful blue eye water digging sweetheart

[@ShereesAlchemy]

Those views in the opening! Wow! Your abundance is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Alaska with us.

[@catherines506]

WOW. I seriously cried at the intro. God's creation is so magnificent and you captured that beauty extremely well. Your cinematography continues to amaze me, y'all. ❤

[@PriscillaIOconnell]

Love your channel. Visited Alaska a few years ago... Thought it was beautiful. Not sure I'd like the real short days though. I noticed you always eat standing up. Have to try it.🤗🙋

[@wendykidd1663]

Hello from Ball Ground, Georgia! Everything stops when I see y’all have uploaded a video!

[@michaelwhitewolf10]

Very good harvest for Alaska can't wait to see you guy,s build the greenhouse.

[@belindastuart-william421]

The tops of the leeks you cutting off are amazing in soups & stir frys etc

[@rubenromero-hh8us]

I'm so happy watching your latest vlog show.❤❤❤

[@simonemoreno4324]

You are already wearing a beanie and gloves. Is it that cold there now❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@canvastentonwheels5909]

Doing all of that processing outdoors is not only extremely efficient it’s probably more enjoyable than indoors! Clean up was probably a breeze, too! You guys do great work!

[@headhunter4488]

Two things. First, Ariel is the perfect wife. Hunts,fishes, construction hand, wonderful cook and very attractive lady. Second. If you get a concrete sepic tank and bury it you'll have a root cellar.

[@jamesodom5707]

Great show!! What a productive garden, y’all are fundamentally (jack’s of all trades), is there anything that you can’t accomplish? Have you tried to make a gin using the spruce tips you gather. You might as well run a “still”, you do everything else and seems like you have a lot of extra time off😂😂😂. Thank you for the show

[@puirYorick]

I like it all too. Your updates are always interesting no matter if it's a build project, a fishing/hunting trip, a cooking day, a gardening day or a mix or those like today. I hope you get the green house covered in before the snow flies. Hang in there, Bandit. You're a good boy.

[@mikejones6898]

banded has intelligent emotion signals IE, EYEBROWS EARS POSTURE . show him more

[@KentMarsh]

So if im hearing correct, the future root cellar design is being planned in Eric's thoughts. Having enough space to grow mushrooms in summer and store in winter. Awesome harvest and food prep u 2!

[@Mike-p7e]

I love watching your channel from building ,farming hunting,all the filming saw mill and I would really like to eat at your table!!! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1962">32:42</a>

[@maryellensunflowergirl8132]

Wow great looking meal. I love watching you harvest the garden and watch how you preserve it. Your garden did beautifully. Great job guys. So sorry about Bandit. I will say some prayers for him and y'all. I know how hard it is to watch them decline. Heart wrenching.😢

[@ThePyramidone]

I always enjoy watching your outdoor cooking "classes" using unique recipes. ☺

[@jameswhitman9465]

Thank you for another video I’ve been watching since forever!!! The mermaid couple 🎉😂

[@Flyfisher-gt8kn]

Eric can really get excited about food. He can't hide his enthusiasm about the celery balls. Looks like a great first year harvest.

[@birdwatcherjean6293]

Amazing what you both have been able to grow and harvest in such a busy year. I am so glad you had family up for a visit, so hard when we live so far from family. I love watching your adventures thru all the seasons.

[@michaelmcgrath7712]

Thought I mistakenly put on a National Geographic video. U guys are now the best off grid video by far.

[@Jax-kj5yo]

Hi from the UK. Just a tip. Celery is great pickled! Lots of recipes on the net for it. Great addition to wraps etc.

[@Huhahuh-s2n]

Another video that I’d watch over and over again! Thank you, Eric and Arielle 😊

[@tarlspeakman3382]

Wouldn't the temperature withinside that barrel?Change once you had your radiant floor heating going for like say a month.

[@andrewwindsor5962]

In this country, United Kingdom, we use his storeroom and place sand or any dry sand keeps them fresh for longer

[@wuchan8837]

The aerial view of the compound is very aesthetically a pleasing!

[@dixsigns1717]

Yet! you do not have a rootcellar yet! 🙏💞😎💞🙏

[@gigiluna7899]

Simply beautiful. Lots of love from Orange County, CA.

[@lindacollier3321]

Your opening is so beautiful, it almost makes me cry….🥰🥰🥰

[@charlesmanuel1878]

bravo! depuis la Belgique, je vous suis depuis de nombreuses années ! bravo!

[@AZJH8374]

Ariel. You are a professional! ❤❤❤❤

[@49rogs]

Prayer for you and for sweet Bandit

[@anderjonswe]

Thanks alot for the video

[@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping]

As always another wonderful video. Definitely going to have to try those meatballs they looked amazing. Was going to say the rule of thumb for sauerkraut is a Tbsp of salt for every 4 cups of cabbage. Absolutely love to make sauerkraut and there is a big difference between green and the purple cabbage. Also love to add caraway seeds in with it as well. Take care and have a blessed week ahead. Now patiently waiting for the next video. Love y'all ❤️🍀 Blessings, Teresa 🦉

[@GateKiller-q6n]

Probably not the smartest having a shotgun pointing at your head when trying to get it unhooked from the ATV.

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

All ears where you think storing a firearm may be better. We have stored them in cases on the back as well that point the firearm towards the cab. They aren't chambered fyi but have found this set up (mounts you can buy) makes for the most convenient access.

[@1erinjames]

Never heard of celery meatballs. That’s something I’ve got to try!!!

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

What a satisfying harvest! I've been using vegetable scraps to infuse vinegars and they are so tasty and useful for salad dressings and sauces.

[@AK2HI]

When is the last time you 2 went somewhere tropical

[@ShereesAlchemy]

Those views in the opening! Wow! Your abundance is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Alaska with us. Your meals are so delicious looking. Poor Bandit. ❤

[@PaullaWells]

Oh no! Not Bandit. Poor guy. Good carrot harvest. I wondered if the boxes would be deep enough but hey y’all can add another layer to the existing boxes. 😉

[@koololdster]

Those chickens are in food heaven. Chicken food coma incoming!

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

Great harvest! Hope Bandit feels better soon! 🙏❤

[@mariesheppard3750]

Another wonderful family video thanks

[@Mama-tea]

I love Brussels sprouts, they’re so versatile

[@oneiros1401]

She cooks. She cleans. She gardens. AND she hunts! Amazing woman you got yourself there.

[@StumptownHomestead]

You can eat the tops - I've got a recipe for carrot top pesto, for example. You could also feed the tops to the chickens.

[@lindapetersen1800]

Love your videos am always coming right to you when I see a video pull on up !!! Prayers for Bandit !!! I know he loves to play in the water is always pawing it !!! Looks like you could pull some more Rhubarb enough for 2-3 pies about 4 cups each for you in the Winter Time It would make you feel GREAT !!! It has Vit. C in it !!!

[@marleneshaw277]

Love the Drones shot. Amazing landscape and beauty. I’m smiling from. Dartmouth Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦. Your harvest and gardens are amazing. Lu. Be safe
